Default How do the 21's ride?

we orderded a 2017 Prestige with 21's, delivery should be within 2 weeks and Im cusious what everyones feedback is on the ride quality compared to the 20 inch 10 spoke wheels. no difference? too stiff?

We currently have a 2012 TDI S-Line with the 21's and my wife feels the ride is harsh and shes worried since I ordered the 21's for the new Q7 that it might be the same.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
James

The ride will be great from what you are coming from. I had a 2010 TDI with 21'' wheels and the ride was a bit rough also. Coming to the new 2017 was "a breathe of fresh air". We test drove a model with 20" which rode fantastic, but ending up with the 21" and we are thoroughly satisfied. I'm sure the 20" will ride just a bit nicer, but probably not by much.

I find my 21" wheels ride fantastic. I have the Adaptive Chassis so maybe the suspension soaks up any roughness

We have the Prestige/Black Optics with 21s and the standard suspension, and came from a Q7 P+ with the 20-inch wheels with the standard suspension that we took until our Prestige order came in. I think the ride quality on the 21s is better and smoother all around, which I attribute to the summer tires rather than the runflats. In any case, I don't think you or your wife will be disappointed.
